Washington D.C., December 12, 2017 – U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University

This is five years old but the information is as relevant as when the lies were being told in 1991. For anyone who is interested in looking at the documents and deciding for themselves in which direction the hegemony has been and is moving.

The Neocons lied then.

They are lying now.

Life is easy when you know the rules.

No average citizen ever wants war—the elites have to lie like crazy to justify it.

And I always thought we were the HONEST players.

You’ll note that I challenged them to read the documents and make up their own minds. Yeah, right. That won’t happen and information like this will never make it to the media masters’ feeding trough. They’ll just ignore it, better butt hurt than brain hurt for them.

Neocons, sure. But somewhere along the way, the Democrats decided that NATO was going to make them rich, I think.

It’s 30 years old.

Grasping at straws.

The lack of any logical coherence in your attempt at argument is pathetic in a funny way.

Hey, I can’t blame them for lying and getting over on the Soviet Union. This is the period when Reagan was destroying the Warsaw Pact. But after the ENTIRE non Russian speaking Warsaw Pact has been transformed into now rabid anti Russian (for very good reason) NATO, some sitting within a day’s tank ride of Moscow, don’t be surprised if the Russians are freaking out.

I’m sorry, all the documents you care to read when making up your mind on why the Russians invaded Ukraine are at the bottom of your media masters feeding trough. These won’t be there. I hope you didn’t try read these NATO country documents by yourself as it would truly overload your brain. Hey, FOX and CNN have just tossed in new shovel fulls. Sooie, Sooie, Sooie, dinners waiting.

Unlike your logic of a two year old.

There is no statute of limitations on the word of an honorable nation.

I’m sure Russia didn’t lie also and Putin kept Russia’s promises.

It makes no sense, the whole Russian attack on Ukraine.

You think secret deep state talks are law?
